Custom Timber Bathroom Furniture

The beauty of custom furniture lies in its ability to be tailored to your exact specifications. Here are some key design considerations when creating custom timber bathroom furniture:

• Space Optimisation: Bathrooms often have limited space, so we think that it's crucial to design furniture that maximises storage while maintaining an open, uncluttered feel. We think that you should consider built-in shelving, wall-mounted cabinets, and vanities with integrated storage solutions.

• Style and Cohesion: Your bathroom furniture should complement the overall style of your home. If you're aiming for a rustic, modern, or transitional look, choose timber finishes and designs that harmonise with your existing décor.

• Functionality: We think that you should consider how you use your bathroom daily. Custom furniture should be designed to meet your specific needs, whether that means additional counter space, more storage, or integrated features like towel racks or mirrors.

• Material Selection: In our experience, the type of timber you choose will affect the furniture's appearance and longevity. Hardwoods are generally more durable and resistant to moisture, making them ideal for bathroom environments. However, softer woods can be used if treated properly.

From vanities to storage units, there are various types of bathroom furniture that can be customised to suit your space:

• Vanities: The bathroom vanity is often the focal point of the room. A custom timber vanity can be designed with specific dimensions, storage options, and finishes to perfectly fit your space. Consider adding features like soft-close drawers, integrated sinks, or a floating design for a modern touch.

• Storage Cabinets: We like that custom timber cabinets can be designed to fit awkward spaces or provide additional storage in small bathrooms. Tall, narrow cabinets can make use of vertical space, while recessed cabinets can offer storage without encroaching on valuable floor space.

• Mirrors with Timber Frames: A mirror with a custom timber frame can tie together the elements of your bathroom design. The wood grain and finish can be matched to other furniture pieces for a cohesive look.

• Shower Benches and Shelving: Timber shower benches add a spa-like feel to your bathroom, providing a place to sit or store toiletries. Custom shelving units can be designed to hold towels, toiletries, and decorative items, keeping your bathroom organised and stylish.

• Bathtub Surrounds: A timber surround for your bathtub can add warmth and contrast to the smooth surfaces typically found in a bathroom. It can be designed to include storage for bath products or simply to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the space.

Custom timber bathroom furniture allows for the integration of unique features that reflect your style and meet your specific needs:

• Live Edge Designs: We think that a live edge on a vanity or shelving unit retains the natural shape of the wood, adding an organic, rustic touch to your bathroom.

• Reclaimed Timber: We believe that using reclaimed wood adds character and history to your furniture. Each piece of reclaimed timber tells a story, with unique imperfections and weathering that can’t be replicated.

• Mixed Materials: Combining timber with other materials like stone, metal, or glass can create a striking contrast, in our experience. Such as, a timber vanity with a stone countertop or metal hardware can add a contemporary edge to your bathroom.

• Custom Finishes: The finish of your timber furniture can be customised by our team to suit your style. A natural oil finish enhances the wood’s grain and colour, while a painted finish can add a pop of colour or create a more modern look.

Staying informed about current design trends can help inspire your custom timber bathroom furniture:

• Minimalist Design: Simple, clean lines and a focus on functionality are hallmarks of minimalist design. In the bathroom, this translates to furniture with sleek profiles, integrated storage, and a focus on natural materials.

• Natural Finishes: We've noticed that there is a growing trend towards using natural, untreated or lightly treated timber in bathroom furniture. This approach highlights the wood’s natural beauty and creates a warm, organic feel in the space.

• Floating Vanities: Floating vanities are popular in modern bathroom design. Mounted to the wall without touching the floor, these vanities create a sense of space and lightness, making them ideal for smaller bathrooms.

• Eco-Friendly Materials: Sustainability is a significant trend in interior design. Using FSC-certified or reclaimed timber for bathroom furniture is not only eco-friendly but also adds a unique character to the pieces.

Investing in custom timber bathroom furniture offers several advantages:

• Perfect Fit: Custom furniture is designed to fit your space perfectly. We think that this will make the most of available space and ensure a seamless integration with your bathroom layout.

• Quality Craftsmanship: Custom pieces are typically crafted with more attention to detail and higher quality materials than mass-produced furniture, resulting in a more durable and long-lasting product.

• Personalisation: Customisation allows you to create furniture that reflects your style and meets your specific needs. We can help here. From the type of wood to the design and finish, every aspect can be tailored to your preferences.

• Sustainability: By choosing sustainably sourced timber and working with local craftsmen like Tide Furniture, you support ethical practices and an Aussie owned business.
